Chattanooga, Tennessee — industrial workforce solutions

Good crews aren't found at 6 a.m. They're built before it.

SkillRise runs the hours of your workforce day: safety training before the bell, apprentices learning on the line, payroll that clears, and numbers you can read out in a budget meeting.

Every hour. Every shift.

05:00 → 05:00 One working shift

One shift, five checkpoints. We run four of them with you.

Safety before the bell. Apprentices on the line. Payroll that clears. Numbers you can defend. The only piece left for you is a thirty-minute call.

  1. 05:00

    Pre-shift

    Safety training written for your floor, scheduled around production, and recorded.

  2. 07:00

    Onboarding

    Apprenticeship tracks designed around your machines, your shifts and your wage ladder.

  3. 12:00

    Payday

    Hours and classifications checked before the run goes out — not after the questions.

  4. 15:00

    End of quarter

    Placement analytics you can read in a budget meeting, not a dashboard nobody opens.

  5. 05:00 +1

    First light

    The discovery call. Bring your hardest role; we'll tell you how we'd staff it.

05:00 Safety training

Before the bell, everyone knows the plan.

Safety training that happens on your floor, in the language your crew works in, scheduled around production. We help you write the talks your supervisors give and keep the records that prove it happened.

  1. We walk the floor with you and map the gaps people have learned to live with.
  2. Certifications, refreshers and shift-start talks get planned with production, not against it.
  3. Records are kept complete, so an unannounced inspection is just an inspection.

07:00 Apprenticeship design

Earn while they learn. Stay because it works.

We design the apprenticeship around your machines, your shifts and your wage ladder, then help your supervisors run it without adding a second job to their day.

  • 01

    Role map

    What a first-year, second-year and journey-level worker can be expected to do on your equipment.

  • 02

    Wage ladder

    Clear steps in plain language, so nobody has to guess what the next year looks like.

  • 03

    Mentor pairings

    New hires get matched with the people who already do the job well.

  • 04

    Related instruction

    Coursework arranged so it fits around shift work instead of competing with it.

12:00 Payroll compliance

Payday is not the day to find out.

Hours, classifications and filings that hold up when somebody asks. We keep the back office boring — on purpose.

  • 01

    Hours and overtime

    Shift differentials, premiums and rounding checked against the schedule before the run goes out.

  • 02

    Worker classification

    Job duties matched to the right classification, whether the work is permanent, seasonal or contract.

  • 03

    Certified payroll on public work

    The documentation public projects require, assembled as the job runs instead of scrambled at the end.

  • 04

    Filings and reporting

    Multi-state paperwork and quarterly reporting filed on schedule, with a copy you can find again.

15:00 Placement analytics

End of quarter, a straight answer.

Placement analytics that show where your people landed, how long they stayed and what each hire cost you — read out in plain language, not buried in a dashboard.

Placement trend, by quarter Reviewed with you, in person
  • 01

    Where people land

    Which roles your placements move into, and which ones they leave — tracked by shift and by supervisor.

  • 02

    How long they stay

    Retention read at set intervals, so a good week doesn't hide a bad quarter.

  • 03

    What each hire costs

    Time to fill, cost per placement and where the money actually went.
